Yanguan Ancient Town – Where the Qiantang River Writes History with Tides

#chinatravel For 2,000+ years, this Jiangnan gem has thrived at the epicenter of the world’s largest tidal bore. By day, its Ming-Qing salt merchant mansions whisper of imperial monopolies; by mid-autumn, the Silver Dragon Tide draws crowds to witness nature’s fury as 9m waves crash against ancient seawalls. 📍 Location: 50km from Hangzhou "Where the river’s roar still drowns out the clink of ancient salt coins."
